Abstract

:
A series of novel indole derivatives containing ester groups, halogen, epoxy and short-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities. Most of the compounds showed relatively excellent inhibitory activities against different strains (including a multidrug-resistant clinical isolate). Compounds 3f, 3o and 3r showed the strongest inhibitory activity (mic of 2–32 μg/mL). Compounds 3f, 3h, 3i, 3o and 3r with antibacterial activity were not cytotoxic against RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages. The structure–activity relationship analysis and docking studies showed that the halogens as well as aliphatic hydrocarbons could enhance the antibacterial ability and reduce the toxicity of the indole compounds.
